My doubt was whether they were being cross-compiled, or Guix was building
them natively as an intermediary step in the path to obtain a
cross-toolchain.

This patch:

https://issues.guix.gnu.org/49565#11

allows gcc-toolchain@11 to be cross-compiled without going through mesboot
packages – or it would if bug 49600 didn’t get in the way. Do you think
it is correct?

Nice! I should have thought of it.

It does! Thank you very much for these clarifications. The pieces are still
falling into place in my mind.
